Description of Awake for Debug

This app allows you to keep your screen on *only* when debugging is active on the device over Wifi (on Android 11) or USB.
It switches to the previously set display timeout when the device is unplugged or plugged into a wall socket.
Permissions
Notification Access
: To monitor debugging notifications
WRITE_SETTINGS
to change the display timeout setting to maximum allowed (30 minutes on most devices)
INTERNET
for Crashlytics (crash reports)
This application is open-source under the Apache license and it is easy to verify that the build here is the same as the one created through GitHub Actions.
GitHub
: https://github.com/AfzalivE/AwakeDebug/.
Note: Android GO phones are not supported because there's no way to get Notification Access on Android GO Edition.
DISCLAIMER: Please be careful on OLED screens as keeping the screen awake for long periods of time could cause burn-in.

What's New with Awake for Debug 2.1

After 2 years of abandonment and the banishment of the implicit ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED from background in API 26, this nifty app returns with support for the magic of wireless debugging on Android 11 and a newfound interest in debugging notifications to find out if debugging is active on the device. 🎉
- Fixed incorrect display timeout in UI when opening the app sometimes

    Works flawlessly on Android 10 in my experience. Not so much on 11b3, but that's hardly the developer's fault.

    Really good app, easy and does exactly what I need. There is only one problem - it doesn't work if a phone is connected to a usb hub :(

    This should be the default behaviour of the "keep screen awake" developer setting.

    Not really sure why this isn't part of the default developer settings in android! This app is helpful, however sometimes it keeps the screen awake even if it's in the charger. This seems to be in specific chargers though, since it works good at home but not at work.
